I'm soon to be riding a brand new totally stock 1995 fire mountain. As soon as I figure out how to load pics on here I'll post some. This bike was overstock and must have been lost. It has been sitting in its box for almost 18 yrs.

I've got a Blink, first bike since being a kid when I had crappy Apollo.

It's been fun blasting about on this thing, heavy as hell though for a h/t and the weekly swap of tyres from the Nevegal to some more road friendly Conti DoubleFighter 2's for the commute back and forth to work has become a bit of a drag but the tyres aren't the bikes fault.

Anyway, it's the bike which has made me feel like a kid again and got me on proper trails for the first time ever and thanks to it I've went out and bought a Commencal Meta 5.5 (2011 full carbon edition) frame to use as my trail bike. Can't wait to get that all built up.

The Kona though will remain with me forever, it'll last trust me, it'll be my daily commuter and the bike I jump on to blast through the streets to the shop.

It's gonna grow old and tatty with me.

Oh and I convinced the lass to get a bike and she's riding a Kona Fire Mountain (now she just needs to ride it more often, hopefully some summer riding will convince her)

Hello all. Here's my 2005 Caldera that I just picked up as a bare frame. This is what I've done to it so far after four hours of cleaning and working on it. I've always wanted a Kona so I'm pretty stocked about getting this one trail ready.

So far it had a Marcozzi Bomber fork, Bontager wheel set, Dura-Ace BB, and a few odd and end bits.
